Crush is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins which appears on their first record, Gish. Opening up with a nice melodic atmosphere, the band establishes possibly the most interesting sound I’ve heard thus far on the record. Though the parts are simple, the interplay among the different instruments is …

This song is one of my favorite songs from Hillsongs Australia. It was a very touching song that really sings from the soul. It talks about the love of God for us that He has given His only Son for us to be save.
Darlene Zschech is the popular female …

Right now, this is my favorite dance song. This song features the words and melody of a slower song at points but then when you add in Flo Rida the different points in the song blend to create a great dance and party song. My favorite line is “I …

Of Wolf And Man is my personal favorite aggressive track on The Black Album. Overall, my favorite song on this album would have to be The Unforgiven, but as far as one of the aggressive tracks on this album, Of Wolf And Man would certainly be my favorite. I …

Agnes is one of those recording artists that did not pop up until very recently, but one that I have been very pleasantly surprised by. To me, she looks so much like Leona Lewis and she has a great voice just like Leona Lewis. There is something about her …

If you have been listening to top 40 radio, you have no doubt heard about Miley Cyrus! This is Billy Ray Cyrus’s daughter, who has made millions for the Walt Disney Company. I have to say, I kinda like her. The music isn’t overly pop filled with nonsense, it’s …

Getchoo is a song by Weezer which appears on their second record, Pinkerton. One thing I should say about Getchoo is that it’s characterized by a pretty rough and aggressive sound which is quite different from many of the songs on Weezer’s self-titled debut record, otherwise known as The …

Nothing Else Matters, the second ballad on Metallica’s self-titled record, is another one of the stronger songs in this record in my opinion. If you notice, the stronger songs on this record actually went more in the melodic direction which emphasizes the change that Metallica went through from And …

Make way for the new symphonic metal that will replaced Nightwish (after Tarja’s leaving the band to pursue a solo career it’s not a cool band anymore..). This dvd contains power-packed performance by the band. If you had seen The Silent Force Tour dvd you’ll be more mesmerised to …

Disney soundtrack Bolt by John Powell rocks! And just one word to sum it: COOL. Filled me with suspense, fun and thrill. It befits an animated movie and my expectation from a soundtrack point of music contact to match a Disney animated movie is matched.
I must commend …

First, I never thought that REO Speedwagon is the name of the band who sings this song. I thought that REO Speedwagon is a name of a person. I was first introduced to REO when I was in third grade and I remember this song is playing on school …

Animal Collective are critical darlings and the penultimate band of modern psychedelia.

Dominated Love Slave is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Kerplunk. Something I should mention immediately about this track is that it certainly does not have the traditional sound of Green Day. For one thing, the instrumentation and music on the track certainly doesn’t have …

It is probably not very often to encounter for a band like the Cure to be criticized, or even to not be praised, but I think that some of their albums are not very good, and this one, their 1979 debut Three Imaginary Boys is such a record.

I discovered Megadeth only a couple years ago when I still had access to the cable television channel Fuse and the television shows Slave to the Metal and Uranium were hosted by a woman who called herself Metal Mistress Juliya. The thing about both of these shows were …

Lady Antebellum has truly outdone themselves …

Reba McEntire returns with “Love Somebody,” her first collection in five years. McEntire co-created the collection with a few accomplices, including Tony Brown, James Stroud, and Doug Sisemore.

This is one of my favorite Coldplay albums.. They’ve yet again, created nothing but pure musical brilliance. Chris Martin (The lead singer) has a heart for music. And it’s absolutely nothing like the shallow, mainstream trash you’ll hear on the radio. One of my favorite tracks is ‘Amsterdam.’ …
